I'm hugging you right back, (((((((((sunsetsunrise)))))))) !!

I'm permitting myself to do more than read this thread today, as I allowed the tooth doc to do some serious excavation and then renovation in my mouth. Ouch. I have a great tooth doc, love the guy, but I really had to push myself to go--it's the furthest I've ventured in months. It was wrenching updating the folks in the office about my life--fortunately, they were kind and compassionate. I think talking about what my family has suffered most recently was more difficult than the physical discomfort and pain. In fact, I know it was.

There is so much excitement and activity present in this thread! Thank you for sharing your days and deeds with me and everyone else.
